Love of Madinah

It is reported in a hadith that once the beloved Prophet  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ   was carrying a child and he was saying “O Allah  عَزَّ وَجَلَّ  I love him, so you love him too” You must have come to know that “the child was both beloved of Allah  عَزَّ وَجَلَّ  and the beloved of His beloved Prophet  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ .” And now you must be thinking “who was that fortunate child?” So my dear Islamic brothers! He was none other than the grandson of the Beloved Prophet   صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ   Hazrat Imam Hasan bin Ali  رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہ . In the following lines we will learn about his biography very briefly and will also be blessed to read some of his excellences. His Birth: Imam Hasan was born in the 3 rd  year after Hijrah in Madina. Hazrat Ali and Fatimah  رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہما are his parents while the...

To create a good society the very important thing is the sense of accountability because human nature inclines towards the fitna when there is no system of accountability. Islam tells us that we are not free for our actions that whatever we want we do it without fear of question. We are accountable for our deeds and whatever we do we have to give the answer of it in the court of our creator. Those who do the good deeds will enter Jannah and those who do the bad deeds face the punishment on the  Day of Judgment . There will be few critical questions a person has to answer them as one Hadees says: عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ  ‏  ’’ ‏ لاَ تَزُولُ قَدَمَا ابْنِ آدَمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّهِ حَتَّى يُسْأَلَ عَنْ خَمْسٍ عَنْ عُمْرِهِ فِيمَا أَفْنَاهُ وَعَنْ شَبَابِهِ فِيمَا أَبْلاَهُ وَمَالِهِ مِنْ أَيْنَ اكْتَسَبَهُ وَفِيمَ أَنْفَقَهُ وَمَاذَا عَمِلَ فِيمَا عَلِمَ ‏ ‏ ‘‘ Ibn Mas'ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah...

Happiness and grief are two such situations at which the true personality of a person can be judged. History always remembers those who have the courage to embrace their death and who know the accomplishment for keeping high the Islamic flag in the abundance of difficulties and grieves. These people have a decisive power of utterance. These are the personalities who have the ability to take the Islam at very high ranks. Among these great people, Hazrat Zainab Bint Ali  رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُمَا   is a most shining pearl. Her name was Zainab. She was the brave woman who saw the incident of Karbala with her eyes and showed her bravery from the  field of Karbala  to the king of Damascus. After this incident she got the kuniah of Ummul-masaaib. She was the daughter of Hazrat Ali  رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ . Her mother was Hazrat Fatima  رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہَا , the princess of all women. Her maternal grandfather was the final Prophet  صَلَّ...

Masjid is a sacred place where Muslims offer prayers and do other worships to attain the pleasure of Allah  عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .It is a respectful place and it is said in a Hadees that  Masjid is a house of Allah   عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . We go to Masjid to offer our Salah we should learn the  manners of visiting Masjid  because if we don’t learn these manners it is possible we go for earning reward but instead of reward we come back with sins.  The Masjid shouldn’t echo with sounds of ‘what’ ‘oi’, and noise of laughter, this is impermissible. Remember, even a Mu’takif is not allowed to speak about worldly matters unnecessarily. Sayyiduna Hasan Basri  رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ   has narrated that the Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of Ummah  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ   has said: يَأۡتِيۡ عَلَي النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَكُوۡنُ حَدِيۡثُهُمۡ   فِيۡ مَسَاجِدِ هِمۡ فِيۡ اَمۡرِ دُنۡيَاهُمۡ فَلا تُجَالِسُوۡهُمۡ فَلَيۡسَ لِلّ...

Neighbor is a word everyone is aware of it but this is not just a word but a relation which has big importance. This relation has so much importance that Allah  عَزَّ وَجَلَّ  ordered us to be good to our neighbors and beloved Rasool  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  also emphasized the importance of this relation. This is a problem in a  modern society  that we are so busy in our life we even don’t know our neighbors. Nowadays our relations are not in a real world rather we are only connected on social media and this connection is only a like button we push or an Emoji we send. Islam teaches us the responsibilities regarding our neighbors. In one blessed saying beloved Rasool  صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  said: "Jibra'il kept enjoining good treatment of neighbors until I thought he would make neighbors heirs." My dear brothers what is our situation? We don’t care about our neighbors and don’t think it...
